I didn't read half as much as I do now when my kids were small, there just isn't enough time in the day and you want to see them growing up. So, don't worry, the time will come when you can read again.<br /><br />Until then, enjoy whatever you can.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Marianne from <br /><a href="http://momobookblog.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Let's Read</a>Marianne https://www.blogger.com/profile/11810275740213848634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14124551.post-33751278138321856092016-05-27T02:52:21.154-07:002016-05-27T02:52:21.154-07:00Totally agree, whoever can read "too much&quo...Totally agree, whoever can read "too much"? ;)<br /><br />Marianne from <br /><a href="http://momobookblog.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Let's Read</a>Marianne https://www.blogger.com/profile/11810275740213848634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14124551.post-31277286477002241552016-05-27T02:51:57.309-07:002016-05-27T02:51:57.309-07:00And, as you can see, I am way behing on answering ...And, as you can see, I am way behing on answering messages myself, so don't you worry. We all have a life to lead.<br /><br />I did have some Sarajevo reading, we read "Rose of Sarajevo" in the book club and I then added "Zlata's Diary" because it was in the house (belongs to my son) and I just wanted to read more about it.<br /><br />Then I went to the hairdressers that week. I knew she is originally from Bosnia but I didn't know many circumstances. We had a wonderful (even if sad) talk about her childhood there, her first coming to Germany when she was in her last years of school (without knowing any German) etc. Makes it even more special.<br /><br />Have a good weekend,<br />Marianne from <br /><a href="http://momobookblog.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Let's Read</a>Marianne https://www.blogger.com/profile/11810275740213848634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14124551.post-91729043617022642552016-05-04T11:49:02.886-07:002016-05-04T11:49:02.886-07:00Ha!

I have a friend who is in the hospital with a broken femur, so I took her a picture book because it is so hard to read when you are loaded up with pain meds.

I just finished it last night and it was great! Such amazing insight into how families and ethnic groups and religions interact in both positive and negative ways.
